Recognizing the importance of skills-based education, Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti recently visited Sherrard High School in Mercer County.
The school showcases instruction in metal fabrication, television broadcasting and Chromebook repair, according to a Facebook post from Mercer Co. News shared by Mercer County Illinois Republicans.
“Sherrard High School is doing a magnificent job and I leave here with tremendous hope for our future, because when I grow up, I want to be just like all the students here at Sherrard, good job," Sanguinetti was quoted as saying in the Facebook post.

The post also pointed out that the lieutenant governor is the “fifth elected official to tour the school in the past 18 months.” The visits were orchestrated by Rhys Fullerlove, president of the school board.
The other visitors were state Sen. Chuck Weaver (R-Peoria), U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-IL), and state Reps. Mike Halpin (D-Rock Island) and Dan Swanson (R-Alpha), the post said.
